Welcome to The Hitchhiker's Guide to VR. Bring a towel.

Right now this mostly catalogues my own experiences, but it's a wiki, so feel free to chip in.

Note that MediaWiki can shit itself if you use an adblocker, so turn yours off if you run into issues. I don't do ads, although I may run self-hosted Matomo for stats in the future.

Games

Social Games

VRChat Free+ Currently the largest social VR game. Not well-designed or well-implemented.
NEOS Free Lots of cool features, confusing UI and an absolute lack of documentation. Also furries and shitcoins.

Lavender Free VERY early access, dead community, aimless developer.

Shooters
